What do Humphrey Bogart, Bill Murray, John Wayne, Diane Keaton and Shirley Temple have in common? They starred in major films that are still not available on DVD nearly 20 years after the format was introduced.

Most commonly, there are rights issues with literary sources or music that block a DVD release. In others cases, existing negatives are in such poor shape they can’t support DVD-quality transfers, or scenes may be missing. Sometimes, the owners decide there isn’t sufficient potential profit to justify the cost of remastering and releasing a film on DVD.

Many long-unavailable movies — everything from “The Country Doctor’’ (1936) with the Dionne Quintuplets to William Friedkin’s “Sorcerer’’ (1977) — have miraculously surfaced in recent years, but there are hundreds of others (such as “Looking for Mr. Goodbar,” “Little Darlings” and “Poor Little Rich Girl”) still held hostage in studio vaults even as fans clamor for their release.

Here’s a list of 100 titles most requested by fans, including me, spanning seven decades. Some have been available in the past in the VHS and/or LaserDisc formats, a few are long out of print on DVD or available only as region-locked imports — while others are currently only streaming digitally stateside, or illicitly lurking on YouTube.

But, as far as I know, not one of these is currently available on a non-bootleg US DVD:

‘The Glass Menagerie’ (1987)

Paul Newman directed this version of the Tennessee Williams classic starring Karen Allen and John Malkovich. Also unavailable is the better-known 1950 edition with Kirk Douglas and Jane Wyman, which has played for decades on TV.

‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ (1984)

Despite a cast that includes Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd as well as a premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, this futuristic comedy has never had a proper US theatrical release, let alone one on video.

It has sold out sporadic screenings in recent years, and Warner Bros. prepared a new master a few years ago. So here’s hoping.

‘The Keep’ (1983)

That year’s big Christmas flop, directed by Michael Mann, stars Ian McKellen as a Jewish professor forced by Nazis to help keep evil spirits at bay during World War II. Despite an avid cult following, it’s available only for streaming.

‘Little Darlings’ (1980)

Tatum O’Neal and Kristy McNichol compete in summer camp to see who can lose her virginity first. It’s run in heavy rotation on TV for decades and a used VHS copy fetches $50-and-up. But no DVD and no streaming.

‘Fedora’ (1978)

Director Billy Wilder revisits the themes of his “Sunset Boulevard’’ in this black comedy about a down-on-his-luck producer (William Holden) trying to entice a long-ago star (Marthe Keller) into a comeback. It was announced for release by Olive Films four years ago, but there were apparently issues with missing scenes. It’s available on Blu-ray as a French import.

‘Looking for Mr. Goodbar’ (1977)

Schoolteacher Diane Keaton looks for sadomasochistic love in all the wrong Manhattan places in this time capsule of a movie directed from a then-notorious novel by Judith Rossner, with Richard Gere’s first important role. Copies of the VHS go for $67 on Amazon.

‘Movie Movie’ (1978)

Stanley Donen (”Singin’ in the Rain’’) directs this “Grindhouse’’-style tribute to 1930s Warner Bros. films consisting of a boxing movie and a musical, plus trailers, all starring George C. Scott and Art Carney. Available only as an Amazon digital download.

’92 In the Shade’ (1975)

‘Play It As It Lays’ (1972)

Frank Perry’s much-requested version of Joan Didion’s novel about a Hollywood actress having a breakdown has never been legally available in any video format anywhere. Perry’s equally unavailable “Last Summer’’ (1969) is reportedly being prepped for its belated video debut, however.

‘Taking Off’ (1971)

The acclaimed American debut of director Miloš Forman (”Amadeus’’) is a comedy about middle-aged parents (Buck Henry, Lynn Carlin) who search for their daughter in the counter-culture. French Blu-ray only.

‘The Naked Runner’ (1967)

Frank Sinatra stars in this spy thriller produced by his own company, which has been tied up for years because of rights issues. The VHS sells for $207 on Amazon.

‘Circus World’ (1964)

The only major John Wayne film not available on DVD in the US, though it can be purchased as an import from Asia. Pretty much all of the Duke’s many other films are out on DVD, notably excepting a half-dozen non-Western B’s he made at Universal from 1936 to 1937: “Sea Spoilers,’’ “Conflict,’’ “California Straight Ahead!,’’ “I Cover the War,’ ’ “Adventure’s End.’’

‘Freud’ (1962)

Montgomery Clift plays the father of psychiatry in this biopic directed by the great John Huston. Available only as a Spanish import.

‘The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm’ (1962)

The first non-travelogue filmed in three-panel Cinerama — starring Laurence Harvey and Karl Boehm as the fairy tale spinners — requires an expensive restoration. The Italian DVD, like the previous VHS and TV version, apparently derives from the simultaneously-shot non-Cinerama version.

‘The Great Imposter’ (1961)

Tony Curtis gives one of his best performances in this fact-based predecessor to “Catch Me If You Can.’’ Also MIA is another fine biopic Curtis made just before this, “The Outsider,’’ in which he played a World War II hero at Iwo Jima. Both available only on pricey VHS or foreign imports.

‘The Last Time I Saw Archie’ (1961)

Jack Webb’s final theatrical feature before he focused on TV is a service comedy with Robert Mitchum getting top billing. “Currently unavailable’’ at Amazon Instant streaming.

‘Raintree County’ (1957)

This Civil War roadshow romantic epic in the “Gone With the Wind’’ mold starring Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift is also in need of an expensive restoration. Available only on Asian imports of dubious legality.

‘Beau James’ (1957)

Bob Hope plays ‘20s New York City mayor Jimmy Walker in this engaging biopic, the only one of his 1950s films unavailable on DVD.

‘First Traveling Saleslady’ (1957)

‘So Big!’ (1953)

The better of two screen versions of Edna Ferber’s generation-spanning novel stars Jane Wyman. Also MIA is a 1932 version starring Barbara Stanwyck, with an appearance by a pre-stardom Bette Davis.

‘The Crimson Pirate’ (1952)

Out of print on DVD for years because the rights expired, this Burt Lancaster pirate classic has recently surfaced on streaming video.

‘The Lusty Men’ (1952)

A restoration has been in the works for years for Nicholas Ray’s never-on-video rodeo drama with Robert Mitchum and Susan Hayward. Ray’s final feature, “55 Days at Peking’’ (1963) is available on DVD only as an import.

‘Deadline USA’ (1952)

Humphrey Bogart plays a crusading managing editor whose newspaper may go out of business in the only one of his 1950s movies that’s not on DVD. Announced by the Fox Cinema Archives last year, it was pulled for rights issues.

Other missing Bogies include “The Big Shot’’ (1942), his last gangster film released just ahead of “Casablanca.’’

‘Beyond the Forest’ (1949)

Bette Davis fans have been clamoring for years for her final film under contract to Warner Bros., where she growls “What a dump!’’ but there are rights issues holding it up.

She is well-represented on DVD, but her debut “Bad Sister’’ (1931), with Humphrey Bogart in his second screen apperance, is still MIA.

‘The Great Gatsby’ (1949)

Alan Ladd is perhaps the definitive Jay Gatsby in this noirish free adaptation of the Fitzgerald classic, which is unavailable because of tangled ownership.

‘Song of the South’ (1946)

Disney executives have blocked any legal US release of this racially controversial children’s movie since its last theatrical run in 1986. More recently, the studio has been playing whack-a-mole with YouTube uploaders.

‘To Each His Own’ (1946)

Olivia De Havilland won her first Best Actress Oscar for this classy soap opera. Also unavailable: director Mitchell Leisen’s “I Wanted Wings’’ with William Holden.

‘Centennial Summer’ (1946)

Several Otto Preminger films have recently arrived on DVD via the Fox Cinema Archives, but not this Jerome Kern musical modeled after “Meet Me in St. Louis.’’

Preminger’s 1975 thriller “Rosebud’’ is available only as a download.

‘Margie’ (1946)

Charming comedy about a 1920s high school student (Jeanne Crain) who develops a crush on her French teacher (Glenn Langan). No authorized video release ever.

‘Home Sweet Homicide’ (1946)

Peggy Ann Garner and a couple of other kids help detective Randolph Scott solve a murder in this cute adaptation of Craig Rice’s cute comedy-mystery novel.

‘Lady in the Dark’ (1944)

Lavish Technicolor musical from a Broadway hit, starring Ginger Rogers as a romantically confused magazine editor. Reportedly there are issues with the Kurt Weill-Ira Gershwin score.

‘Dixie’ (1943)

Bing Crosby was at the height of his stardom when this lavish period Technicolor musical was released. Universal originally announced it was going to be part of a 2010 Crosby set, but then pulled it — possibly because of a blackface segment.

‘Forever and a Day’ (1943)

An all-star Anglo-American cast appeared in this story of an English home through several generations, which was a fund-raiser for British war relief. The long out-of-print DVD sells for $98 on Amazon.

‘The Sea Wolf’ (1941)

Edward G. Robinson and John Garfield star in this classic version of the Jack London story, which has been held back from DVD release because of missing scenes.

‘Hellzapoppin’ (1941)

The Olsen and Johnson comedy classic has never had an authorized release because it’s unclear who holds the rights to the original stage show. No rights issues for their even funnier follow-up, “Crazy House’’ (1943) but it’s MIA as well.

‘Sun Valley Serenade’ (1941)

Ice skating superstar Sonja Henie’s musicals finally begin turning up on DVD last year from the Fox Cinema Archives. But not this one, which is probably her best.

‘They Knew What They Wanted’ (1940)

Farmer Charles Laughton has problems with mail-order bride Carole Lombard in this long-MIA version of Sidney Howard’s Pultizer prizewinning play.

An earlier version starring Edward G. Robinson, “A Lady to Love,’’ is also in legal limbo.

‘Five Came Back’ (1939)

Lucille Ball and a cast of character actor greats crash land in a jungle filled with cannibals in this classic B-movie that is sad shape and has been undergoing restoration for years.

‘Adventures of Tom Sawyer’ (1938)

Mark Twain’s classic, shot in lush three-strip Technicolor under the auspices of producer David O. Selznick. Also MIA: the black-and-white B-movie “Tom Sawyer, Detective’’ from the same year, starring Donald O’Connor.

‘Boy Meets Girl’ (1938)

James Cagney and Pat O’Brien play bad-boy screenwriters in this snappy adaptation of a censor-baiting Hollywood spoof from Broadway, which is being restored. Cagney’s “Blonde Crazy’’ (1931) is in the works, but there are right issues blocking “Ceiling Zero’’ (1936) and “Come Fill the Cup’’ (1951).

‘The Hurricane’ (1937)

The great John Ford directs this spectacular disaster movie that’s been out of print on DVD since the turn of the 21st century. Other MIA Ford talkies include “Salute’’ (1929), “The Plough and the Stars’’ (1936, available to stream on Vudu), “Submarine Patrol’’ (1938) and his final film, “7 Women’’ (1966).

‘The Road Back’ (1937)

Sequel to the Oscar-winning “All Quiet on the Western Front’’ has never even been on American TV, apparently because of issues with the estate of author Erich Maria Remarque. Universal is said to hold an uncensored version of this post World War I drama, which was drastically cut at the demand of German officials.

One of numerous films directed by James Whale that are unavailable on DVD, including the screwball mystery “Remember Last Night?”

‘High, Wide, and Handsome’ (1937)

Jerome Kern musical set in turn of the 20th century Pennsylvania, starring Irene Dunne and Randolph Scott.

‘7th Heaven’ (1937)

Remake of a famous silent romance is entertaining despite the miscasting of James Stewart as a Parisian sewer cleaner.

‘Poor Little Rich Girl’ (1936)

The only one of Shirley Temple’s Fox musicals to not make the jump to DVD. Originally in black-and-white, it was offered optionally in a colorized version on VHS. Fox is reportedly working to finally clear the rights.

‘The Moon’s Our Home’ (1936)

Formerly married Henry Fonda and Margaret Sullavan are charming in this screwball comedy directed by the underrated William Seiter. Was on VHS.

‘The Story of Louis Pasteur’ (1936)

Paul Muni won his Best Actor Oscar for this biopic of the scientist, which is reportedly in sorry shape. Many unavailable Munis include “The Valiant’’ (1929), which popped up last year on TCM, and “The Woman I Love’’ (1937) — the latter’s rights issues so severe it’s apparently never been shown on TV, ever.

‘Red Salute’ (1935)

Barbara Stanwyck as a college student who flirts with communism until she meets soldier Robert Young in this screwball comedy. Other missing Stanwycks include “The Gay Sisters” and “Gambling Lady.”

‘So Red the Rose’ (1935)

Margaret Sullavan and Randolph Scott in a Civil War romance whose failure scared the major studios away from buying “Gone With the Wind.’’

‘Viva Villa!’ (1934)

Wallace Beery plays the Mexican icon in this biopic co-directed by Howard Hawks. Warner Bros. is hunting down scenes that were trimmed after enforcement of the Production Code.

Another missing Beery from the previous year is Raoul Walsh’s “The Bowery’’ (1933) co-starring George Raft.

‘I Am Suzanne!’ (1933)

‘The Story of Temple Drake’ (1933)

Pre-code melodrama from a novel by William Faulkner is notorious for its rape scene. Restored by MoMA and has shown on TV, but never legally available on any video format.

‘Man’s Castle’ (1933)

Spencer Tracy and Loretta Young cohabit without the benefit of matrimony in Central Park in this Frank Borzage gem. The many missing early Tracys on DVD include “Sky Devils’’ (1932), a Howard Hughes production that recycles aerial footage from “Hell’s Angels.’’

‘Letty Lynton’ (1932)

The Holy Grail of unavailable movies was pulled from circulation by MGM in 1935 to settle a plagiarism suit. Current owner Warner has been trying to come to terms with the plaintiffs’ heirs.

‘Call Her Savage’ (1932)

None of silent hottie Clara Bow’s talkies is on DVD — this one, recently restored by MoMA, is a real jaw-dropper.

‘Once in a Lifetime’ (1932)

Hilarious spoof of Hollywood’s transition to sound, a predecessor of “Singin’ in the Rain,’’ is based on a play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. It showed on TV once, on PBS in the 1970s.

‘Sherlock Holmes’ (1932)

British actor Clive Brook plays the legendary sleuth for the third and last time in this adaptation of William Gillette’s play, which hasn’t surfaced since the 1970s.

‘Daughter of the Dragon’ (1931)

Anna May Wong, the most prominent Chinese actress of Hollywood’s Golden Era, starred in this sequel to “The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu,’’ which has shown on TCM.

Among her many missing titles on DVD are “Dangerous to Know,’’ “King of Chinatown’’ and “When Were You Born.’’

‘A House Divided’ (1931)

A young John Huston collaborated on the screenplay for this Eugene O’Neill knockoff starring his father, Walter Huston. Also MIA is their collaboration from the following year, “Law and Order.’’

‘Dynamite’ (1929)

A socialite marries a condemned prisoner to inherit a fortune in this wild Cecil B. DeMille melodrama, and you can guess the rest. Being restored.

‘The Greene Murder Case’ (1929)

Before gaining immortality as Nick Charles in the Thin Man movies, William Powell clinched stardom in three (frustratingly unavailable) early talkies as sleuth Philo Vance.

‘The Crowd’ (1928)

In one of the most famous late silent films, King Vidor follows the lives of an ordinary Manhattan couple to devastating effect.

‘Greed’ (1924)

Legendary silent melodrama directed by Erich Von Stroheim and drastically cut at the behest MGM suits, it was reconstructed using stills for VHS — but needs more work for a DVD release.

Available for streaming at YouTube; a Spanish import DVD sells for $200.
